Rubber surfacing on a Sault Ste. Marie driveway or garage floor is laid over the concrete or asphalt already there, so salt brine, slush and tire grit stop pitting the slab underneath. Garage floors get rubber surfacing at 3/8 to 3/4 of an inch; driveways get 3/8 to 1/2. From the first wash to the last of the cure, the job you book with us is fully insured.
Garage floor rubber surfacing keeps brine off the concrete, and brine is what pits and flakes a bare slab in this town. Every car that comes in off Second Line or Trunk Road in winter drips a puddle of salt and slush on the same square of floor, and on an older slab in Steelton, Korah or Bayview that brine has already found the pores. Rubber surfacing does not react to salt the way concrete does.
The black recycled rubber granule we use for garage floor rubber surfacing gives grip under a wet tire and a boot, and a broom or a shovel clears it without catching. A seamless floor also means the melt runs to the drain instead of pooling in a crack.
Rubber surfacing bridges the static cracks that frost heave opens in a Sault driveway and gives a surface that stays grippy under a foot of squall snow. Most driveways in the city sit on glacial-lake clay that expands with each freeze and drops back with each thaw, so the slab cracks at the control joints and the edges lift. A driveway that has been through twenty of those winters usually has a map of hairline cracks and a scaled apron.
Rubber surfacing has enough give to ride the slab across those cracks, and enough porosity that meltwater drains through rather than freezing on top. If a section is still moving or a corner is heaved, we repair or level it before the pour.
We prepare a driveway or garage floor for rubber surfacing by grinding or pressure washing the old surface to bare material, removing oil, sealer, paint and dust, and filling every static crack. Then we prime, blend granules with binder at the truck, and spread the mix by trowel to the thickness written on the quote. Most garage floors are a one-day pour, and the car returns after two or three days.
On a driveway we give the apron and the edges a finished stop so a plow blade or a shovel has nothing to catch. Rubber surfacing on a driveway is usually black or a dark speckle, which hides tire marks and sheds snow melt faster in the March sun.
A driveway or a garage in the Sault gets its rubber surfacing quote after a free visit, on paper, and the sheet you get lists the granule we will use, how thick it goes on, the footage we taped, and a single total. Around here a garage floor or driveway over existing concrete commonly lands in the eight-to-sixteen-dollar range per square foot, and a small garage carries a minimum. If the garage doubles as a workout space, our gym and fitness flooring uses the same material at the same thickness.
